Hydrostatic Pressure dialog box

Destination Folder
Load Container Specifies the folder in the Simulation Navigator in which the boundary condition will be stored. The list includes the root container and existing folders that you created using the New Folder command. Examples of a root container include Load Container, Constraint Container, and Simulation Object Container.To view a hierarchical list of existing folders, click Folder Manager . To create a new folder, right-click any level of the hierarchy and choose New Folder.
Model Objects
Group Reference Lets you apply the hydrostatic pressure load to a group.For more information, see Group Reference options.
Select Object Lets you select the face or element to which the hydrostatic pressure load will be applied.
Stacked Smart Selector Methods Opens the Smart Selector Methods dialog box where you can specify a progression of smart selection filters.For more information, see Smart Selector Methods dialog box.
Excluded Lets you remove individual entities from within the selected object.
Liquid Surface
Specify Vector Defines the direction downward from the surface of the liquid. The default direction is –Z.For more information, see Vector dialog box.To reverse the direction of the vector, click Reverse Direction .
Specify Point Specifies the location of the surface of the liquid. The default location is (0,0,0).For more information, see Point dialog box.
Properties
Liquid Density Sets the density of the liquid. The default is the density of water. The units are mass/volume (length**3). For more information, see Additional magnitude options.
Gravitation Constant Sets the value of the gravitation constant. The default is earth. The units are mass/time**2. For more information, see Additional magnitude options.
Surface Pressure Sets the value of the surface pressure value. The default is the atmospheric pressure on earth. The units are force/area (length**2). For more information, see Additional magnitude options.
Card Name Displays the name of the solver card for the load.
